A few words that describe me best are hard working, emotionally and financially stable, educated, fit, open minded, family oriented, and well read in many of the sciences and other non-fiction. My closest friends would speak of my ambition, integrity, and how I enjoy learning new things. I work hard and smart but enjoy working with others. If you know me and you get my word on anything - consider it done - on time 99.9% of the time... I'm the friend that you can trust with anything, who's values don't change direction with the wind. It's my philosophy that either you're living this life or its living you; my choice is clear and its a way of life for me... I'm very passionate about life and think its important to go out there and earn what you want in this lifetime. Even, meeting that special someone is not to be achieved without some work, effort, and dedication to your understanding of what attributes you have that compliment your partner and vice-versa. And as with other things I set my sights on; once I decide to go after something, I do whatever it takes to earn it and I make it happen. Before the successes in my life, there were many many failures. I've have experience moments of doubt, despair, and shattered confidence - only to wake up the next morning and come back stronger and smarter about my approach. Sometimes my struggles led me to read/learn, other times I may had consulted a professional, and other times - just try it again... This has made me strong, resilient, and it was a great lesson on how to be persistent in the face of utter failure. Some people have wondered how I can get up and keep going when things got tough, and for me, because I'm driven by passion - failure has never been an option. This is only part of how I am. Getting to know me will take time, but there's much more than meets the eye. Physically, I am full of energy and don't often tire or need sleep lots of rest, its in the genes. Keeping up with me isn't for the faint of heart. Even after a 12 hour day of work, you won't have to twist my arm me to go out and catch a movie or do a few rounds of bowling... I have no children, a thriving career, and a growing start-up company that I'm passionate about. Family is very important to me and I plan to have one of my own someday. My energy level is very high so I prefer someone that has some fire in the furnace... I'm looking for someone that is professional and intelligent yet fun and sociable. I network and go to business functions quite a bit so its nice to know I'm with someone who will not feel uncomfortable or out of place in such settings. She will be athletic, nurturing, enjoys some of the finer things in life, is family oriented, can work hard/smart and play hard, and enjoys trying new things every once and a while. I have spent a lot of my time over the years learning lots of things from cooking, playing the sax, oil painting, masonry, investing/trading, and business development; but I'm not looking for a contender just a partner that also brings something to the table. Someone that isn't ok, with the basic life package..
